The median price for home sales in June was $196,338; an 8.5 percent jump from a year ago and an increase from May’s $193,000 median.

There were 2,704 sales during the month; down two percent from 2,758 in June 2015, but more than May’s 2,393 sales.

While sellers added 3,404 new homes to inventory, it wasn’t enough to push inventory higher than the 4.0 months mark (inventory in May was 3.9 months on hand). Closing inventory for June was 9,317 homes; a 15.1 percent decline from 10,968 in inventory in June 2015.

Days on market until sale was 74, down 8.6 percent from 81 days a year ago.

2016 NEFAR President Terrell Newberry said, "Northeast Florida’s real estate story in 2016 to date revolves around a few trends: a large volume of homes sold each month, median prices edging slowly up, and especially low inventory."
